Description: Combining Aching Beauty and Toreador Grand Ball may look like a strange strategy. Add in Mask of a thousand Faces and it makes more sense. Declare non-bleed actions with your unblockable vampire. Play Mask and finish the action in order to get another unblockable action. Try playing bleed-modifiers and Aching Beauty/Camarilla Exemplary on different vampires. Declare bleeds for lots. If blocked, Mask in some pool-punishment. If bounced, Mask in a lower amount of bleed. Expensive mastercards go hand in hand with Parity Shift. Doing this deck again I'd throw out all equipment and add another three Majesty.
